A Rule Ammendment - a poll with a point :)

[Jinx]

an addition to comparing lawfuls and criminals...



it is the polices job to stop smugglers. - now the police is usually using fighters, some bombers - and ... in very rare cases a gunboat. - the military as such is not really involved in stopping a trader. it is not their job, nor would they move a battleship to stop the smuggler - but if the smuggler comes into firing range, they might open fire. ( blame the smuggler for it )



military and warships going after smugglers is an oddity that is ... although allowed - not really very good RP in most cases.



but the roles of the lawfuls factions are different to the pirates roles. pirates mostly stayed true to their nature while lawful factions have claimed to have more "missions" than they are supposed to have. - what the unlawfuls are missing is a differentiation between military and police, too. - pirates take up all jobs/missions while lawfuls devided the whole into at least two sub-groups ( police / military )



so the lawfuls police part is allowed to stop and take a smuggler down, while the pirates, that take up military+police is not. - on the lawful side, the military should not be allowed either.



of course, there are cases - where RP asks for military support ( like 5000 cardamine units to manhatten - even the military would move then ) - but making such a rule too complicated leads to confusion and unwanted violations of the rules.
